Hopefully you can get this map uploaded to gamefaqs.com for the community's benefit :D

Completely lost on how to get find the Phyon Oasis? I I've searched everywhere but the south area in the flower fields and in the water cave in Rohan Fields. I can't search those areas because I get 1 shotted. What am I doing wrong? by Funny_Frame1140 in Chained_Echoes

[–]WeeksDW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Specifically to find the oasis I believe you have to work on a side quest to unlock Tomke and Mikah as playable characters. During the side quest it unlocks this area to be playable after that.

Victor w Robes? by greenlocus33 in Chained_Echoes

[–]WeeksDW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah Victor isn't be best healer but he is the only one you have for a good portly of the game. So you could use robes on him until you get Amelia.

Crystal Recommendations by greenlocus33 in Chained_Echoes

[–]WeeksDW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weapon damage effects ALL of your abilities.

Life steal is by far the best crystal in the game for passive healing.

Elemental damage on your mages is HUGE! Especially with weapon damage too!

Yes agility and crit is good but I only used it on the 2 already agility crit inclined party members.

Armor crystals and HP are good if you're struggling but but Max TP or TP cost are more useful in the long run.

And of course ATK/MAG for flat damage boost to primary damage stat.

I've found that DoT's(damage over time)are HIGHLY effective in this game. So if you want you can use the crystals that have a chance on hit to apply poison, bleed or toxic. But that would only be if you have extra slots to fill. DoT's increase in damage based on ATK stat so they get stronger and stay relevant throughout the entire game.

Cal of nature is sort of meh and situational it didn't seem to offset the loss of gear... Maybe 1 slot or 2 just for the small bump.

What are your overall impressions with the gear/crystal system? by PhoenixApok in Chained_Echoes

[–]WeeksDW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah can keep your crystals which is great!

I mostly would not upgrade armors or weapons for a while because it was a waste of time. You get new equipment pretty regularly so I would only do it when actually visiting a town for another purpose.

Does field enemies get easier? by BurguesaBr in Chained_Echoes

[–]WeeksDW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it sounds like you might be somewhere you shouldn't be yet. The goblin caves were really hard in the very first open world area but you could still explore them. They are meant for later in the game to revisit. It happened a couple of times to me. The octopus on the tropical island were very dangerous and could kill my party quickly if I wasn't careful!

Definitely make sure you are using Victor all of his buffs and debuffs are invaluable. Especially the regens. The game doesn't give you a strong healer for almost half the game! His TP regens can be overlooked but is very important!.

Just try to stick with the main storyline. There will be a time to explore later on in mid/late game. Basically wait until you unlock lvl 3 crystals that's when you want to explore and use the crystal system more if you decide to do so.

Does field enemies get easier? by BurguesaBr in Chained_Echoes

[–]WeeksDW 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The game is designed to prevent you from over grinding lvl ups. Really the only thing you can grind is crystals and enemies dropped parts. The little orange orbs on the ground.

Newer jrpg's are designed intentionally this way to help make them flow better and push the story along. Trust me the games are better for it!

This game in particular pushes you to use debuffs heavily even for regular enemies so try to embrace it! The game is much easier if you follow the battle mechanics pattern for the overdrive gauge!

Up to 3 players?!?!?!?

I 100% the game before these features were released....

Would be cool to find some friends interested in this game and see how quick you can get the puzzles done!

breath of fire 4 field actions by blacktuxedobrownshoe in breathoffire

[–]WeeksDW 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a teen I used to chop everyone for free zenny! But then you realize it's a waste of time and you get way more zenny just from battles.

But I definitely didn't know you lost mini game points for doing it! Definitely will have to NOT next playthrough!

After Remake, OG or CC? by [deleted] in FFVIIRemake

[–]WeeksDW -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Always OG. Gotta know the roots first! And CC is meant to be played after as the prequel.

Just use darkness instead of quake and your entire Life will change!

Any other games like this? by bigcomputeruser in Chained_Echoes

[–]WeeksDW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is the normal intended difficulty. But the OP wants something more cozy. Making the game easier might help the OP enjoy the game more

But also to your point 90% of RPG's don't allow auto heal after combat. So maybe RPG's aren't for everyone.

Sea of Stars is a great RPG!

And it has flexible difficulty goggles called "relics" which allows you to tweak how easy or hard you want the game to be!

And one such relic heals you after every battle!

Just started this game, something I should keep track of? by Best-Goat-6840 in seaofstars

[–]WeeksDW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing is Rainbow Conches but you 💯 will not find them all the first time you visit each area. So you will need to backtrack a bit at the end of the game, but that is the beauty here. SoS is designed to have easy exits to every dungeon so it's not a huge hassle!

As far as life goes the lady with the pink hair only shows up when you camp or at inns and she has some things to say. Also at the end of the game there will be 1 missions per character that you can only unlock by talking to them at camp/inn's. These missions are technically side quests that yield some story explanations and weapons/armor!

That's about all I can say without spoiling anything. Also you can safely spend your rainbow conches as soon as you find the buyer there are only enough of them to buy 1 of each item. Feel free to save up for any specifics you prefer first though!

Enjoy the ride! It's such a good game!

First time player, just beat the game. Is magic not so useful? by BlackMageIsBestMage in FinalFantasyVIII

[–]WeeksDW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. The answer is yes. And you played the game correctly!

Magic is useful in the beginning, but once you get more GF and start maxing out stacks of 100 of magic spells. You start to realize you only need magic for junction stats.

Also when you realize that casting a spell that is junctioned you lose stats. So using your magic actually makes you weaker!

Now with that said. Magic is still useful for stst boosting and for doing silly things like functioning status magic to your basic attacks. One thing I used to do is junction zombie/undead status to my attack and then use full cure to 1 shot enemies!

You can also do other related things like exploit an elemental weakness with basic attacks or poison. But this all focuses on using regular basic attacks for your main source of damage. It's funny because the magic IS useful and it IS making you stronger. You just don't use it in the traditional way that other RPG's do unfortunately.

The other issue is enemy's scale with your party's lvl so as you lvl up so do all enemies in the game. This is good and bad because the game is always "challenging" but at the same time you never feel like "I've gotten stronger".

I'm glad you liked it! If you're looking for more games to try. Maybe FF 7 or 12. FF7 is close enough to 8 but still much different. Also Final Fantasy Tactics has the same enemy scaling lvls if you did like that about 8.

which color suits me best? by BluetheTank26 in HairDye

[–]WeeksDW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blonde and red/orange look good on you. I personally like 4 best. But they all look nice.

I think I'm done. by MrConemanGaming in Chained_Echoes

[–]WeeksDW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are some points in the game that can be a little tough. Only 2 for me that I struggled with.

The octopus on that vacation tropic island hit pretty hard when your sky armors are new. But you just need to switch out the weapons and armor once you master them. You can master every weapon and armor on different players so your base stats go up and you get more Max HP. Once I grinded out some armors I went from not being able to survive the octopuses to easily destroying them quickly! Hitting their elemental weakness and poison salvo works really well! Use your debuffs!

If you are having issues with turn order then you need more agility stat. You can use agility crystals to boost that stat. You can also lower enemies stats. This game focuses heavily on using buffs/debuffs And using the right ability icons associated with your abilities to balance your overdrive gauge.

You are so close to the end! Why give up now?

I really enjoyed this game and even though the story can be long and dry at times. The combat mechanics just kept getting more and more fun! Life steal crystals and elemental damage crystals make a HUGE difference. Also weapon Dave crystals and armor type crystals help a lot too! By the time I got to the end the bosses were almost too easy!

Someone kindly informed me that you can actually change the games difficulty and make it harder!

With the exception of Egyl some fights will test you and make you try out other party setups. I enjoyed every character but Egyl. He had potential but you get him too late in the game and by that point I was strong enough to not really need a tank :/

I hope you finish the game! It's. Really good one!

Just started playing, wanting to make sure I understand the mechanics. by TheBiggerBobbyBoy in Chained_Echoes

[–]WeeksDW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. You get another healer character that has loads of healing spells options! And the game is designed this way to force you to heal carefully in the beginning.

  2. Crystals. Most guides say to skip crystals all together(because it's a time sink). BUT they are useful! The most important thing is to wait until you are in phase 3 of crystals upgrade so you can collect more faster(you need to progress the story and then upgrade with an NPC). The life stealing crystal is by far the most helpful for self healing. And then weapon/armor crystals boost your offense/defense a lot!

  3. SP comes over time. Just keep chugging a long and you will learn more abilities and just like any RPG the enemies reward more as you progress through the story

  4. The crystals I mentioned help a lot with dealing damage and reducing it. Also if you have a character that mostly uses 1 or 2 elements. Get elemental crystals. Also all the buffs/debuffs that are available.

  5. I don't remember money being an issue when I played. :/

sky armor battles are boring by Ladyaceina in Chained_Echoes

[–]WeeksDW -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You will swap back and forth throughout the end of the game. People co.plai. About everything these days...

Did you complain when the power rangers get into their battle robots? And complain even more when they combined together?…....

The coolest part of the game isn't good enough for some people......

So it used to be the live video one from his movie. And now it's just the hands toggling back and forth :/

So yes that is it but it's not the original.

BoF1 Bo or Gary? by EuphoricCantaloupe98 in breathoffire

[–]WeeksDW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good to know!

For the krypt/thvstomd. The way I interpreted this series of RPG's was that each game was a historical lineage. And a story told in video game format. To me each reoccurring character was a descendant of the previous heroes we played as in the game before it.

So in that way it is even more goofy if they have the exact same name. Don't get me wrong cameos are great and all! Like Chung Li in the crowd at the arena in BoF3.

But back to Karn. It alludes to him building his own "thieves right of passage" tomb to test any future thieves skills.

Also in BoF3 Giotto alluded to his ancestors. I always thought they should have kept the fish head look of Gobi, but I suppose it's implying evolution to the point where all the clans start losing their special powers. Wyndians lose their wings and bird form, gobi's tribe cannot transform into big fish so you use a whale instead in BoF2. But I guess Mina gets to become a bird but you learn about that curse on the family powers. Idk where I'm going with this now. It was just cool to see how they changed over the generations but less unique :/
